After a ten-year hiatus, we are bringing the EuroClojure conference to Prague from May 19 to 21, 2027. The main theme for this upcoming edition will be the design, long-term development, and operation of reliable systems. More information: 2027.euroclojure.org

Do people generally make more mistakes typing on an iPhone than typing on an Android?

Ok, so Google is threatening to close down our GCP account because the amount they want us to pay is literally so low it is well below the minimum transaction of our bank/ the credit card it seems. Yes, we are talking at least an hour of back and forth because of literally a cent or so.

Werden im österreichischem und deutschem #KFC auch die Ablaufdaten vom Fleisch und anderen Produkten gefälscht/ illegal verlängert? Wird auch Fleisch zubereitet, welches schon stinkt? Wie kann es sein, dass in Dänemark und Tschechien so ähnliche Betrügerei und Gefährdung der Gäste auftritt?

Why even bother doing benchmarks, when you use the tools in a completely suboptimal way Phoronix? www.phoronix.com/review/linux... With OpenZFS it is simple to just do the right thing for most applications. I mean at least change the recordsize to something appropriate for the workload.

Thinner. It takes a ton of effort to do, new materials and processes. Then you realize you actually need all that volume for the battery. So you just shrink the battery and call it a day. Now you can charge more for the cool device and for the thick battery "backpack" that people slap on the back. 🤷‍♂️

No, you can't just send the same request to the Google Gemini API for token counting as you would for content generation. 🤷‍♂️ ai.google.dev/api/tokens Great lessons in how to do API design if you want to achieve combinatorial explosion in variants. /s

Seems like Gemini 2.5 Pro is pretty good at generating the reverse SQL DDL migration scripts to remove what has been created. That's an easy win in many cases. 🤷‍♂️ I haven't done anything too complicated though.

Will the various AI assistants that can work with your computer be able to create all the accounts needed for a project? Like the Microsoft 365 stuff, applying for the DUNS number, adding DNS verification records etc.? Because that setup is a real drag and takes ages.

💪 272 posts that I have written, most of the full length, liberated from the LinkedIn void including the media, timestamp and link to the original for discussion github.com/NOT-NULL-Mak...

If you scroll down on cc.cz/vyuceny-obra... the URL gets changed to that of the other article. If you scroll back up, it doesn't change back. #CzechCrunch Interesting usage though even if it may have some edge cases.

Wasn't able to setup Proxmox build environment so I could change the number of workers and blocking threads in pbs-restore to a higher number to utilize 10 Gbps connection over 5 Gbps inside the same rack. github.com/proxmox/prox... Can somebody build that for me or provide clear instructions?

Debian 13 Trixie with newer Gnome feels a bit nicer than Debian 12 Bookworm. However the file selection dialog is still clunky and cannot be moved independently of the window that opened it.

On smallish tasks that fit in 1 day I observe great efficiency gains while maintaining reasonable quality when going from pair programming to AI/ LLM assisted "compete, compare, converge" development model with a colleague. Especially for ad-hoc jobs this delivers good results fast.

Tried extracting the GPG secret keys from the newish SExpr .key format using Clojure and BouncyCastle. I get very bizarre errors and have no result after hours of trying. Most people suggest just shelling out but that is not really the point right? I had better luck with the Kbx PubKey format.

Just a thought: Vibe coding will not become a thing not because of insufficient agent/ model capability but because it would obviate many processes, tickets and such which is the purpose of many corporate middle managers and software like Jira. They will not let that happen.

The InstallFest 2025 talk videos are up. Here is my OpenZFS Status Update (in Czech) however the slides are quite telling even if you know little to no Czech: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErgL... The slides are on GitHub.

To defend against Russia efficiently it's important to find a way to cut their money supply. Quite simple if you find a technology/ solution that obviates most of the need for oil, coal and gas of direct or indirect russian customers.

Majorana (Origanum), marjoram, majoránka (in Czech) Naming is hard and Microsoft even has problems using the number 9 as a version of the company's operating system because of legacy baggage...

Ok, once again cleaned up about 6000 tabs across my phone and laptop, archived with titles and URLs ready for grepping when I need to get back to something. Some of them have also been tagged in the favorites db inside the browser. How do you handle your browsing?

Are you sure your blood sugar is ok under all circumstances? Why not verify that with a 14 day continuous measurement? Found out beer and marmelade with a cake are the only instances where I have been out of the "ok" bounds for a brief moment.

So what is the final straw when you should leave an organization as an engineer? When your CEO does something really close to a nazi salute twice? Start a clock. Last time it took 5,5 years from election to Kristallnacht and another year to invasion of Poland. Will you say you didn't know?

Is java.net.Inet4Address really 56 B and Inet6Address 120 B? That's a lot more than I would expect.

What would happen if Google decided to penalize #IPv4 only websites e.g. by reducing their score for search, crawling them less often and making advertising more expensive for them? We would have as many IPv6 experts as we have AI/ LLM experts now in short order.

⁉️ Programmers procrastinate in 𝗮𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 such as whether you 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 program text – 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 or a mix among other things. I don't frankly care, my editor or Integrated Development Environment does it for me automatically well enough.

💡 You can extract the TimeStamp of a LinkedIn post or comment from its URL with ms precision. Ollie Boyd figured out that the TS is included in the first 41 bits of the number. He published an online tool and code doing the conversion. I wrote a @borkdude.bsky.social #Babashka script doing it.

Should servers listen on 𝗮𝗻𝘆 network interface, just 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 or no socket at all by default?

This is a start after installing firmware-misc-nonfree/bookworm-backports in Debian stable and upgrading the Thinkpad T14 Gen3 platform firmware using fwupd. The computer did start eventually and nothing of that sort happened on the next boot. How would you even debug this?

I don't understand why the French invented the decimal system but still count like this: 4x20+10+9 instead of 9x10+9 or 9+9x10 (like Germans do). Even the Americans are capable of using the decimal way when counting!

ASCII and all our keyboards have a major flaw. It does not have the single and double left and right quotes. The oversimplification into a single and double quote without distinction of the beginning and end is a complication of quoting, escaping and internationalization that could've been avoided.
